flytyer57 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 So where did you catch them at? There's a fine line between fishing and sitting there looking stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ozarkstripers.com Posted October 24, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 24, 2010 I fish for stripers where ever the big ones are at the time. It depends on what is going on with local conditions at the time. Two of the above fish were from Bullshoals from Swanny up, and one was from upper Norfork. As far as the rest of the pics on my website they came from Norfork Dam area, couple from Cransfield area on Norfork up to Dawt Mill area, but the majority from the upper Bullshoals area.

flytyer57 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Thanks, Do you fish for stripers or walleye? Used to fish for walleye back in WI. Now I don't have a boat so I can't really get to them. There's a fine line between fishing and sitting there looking stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ozarkstripers.com Posted October 24, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 24, 2010 I catch 90% of my big walleye from the bank in real shallow clear water, a boat would only spook them. Some in your neck of the woods and some that are worth the couple hours drive it would take you to get there. If your interested let me know and I can put you on some hot spots for bank walleye. A couple of the spots are just getting real good. I have a close friend that just got an eleven and a half pounder from the bank two days ago and his mother got a nine pounder the same night.

What kind of rig you using to catch them? Crawlers? Shiners? Can't find leeches around here. There's a fine line between fishing and sitting there looking stupid.

I have pics of those at ozarkstripers.com along with some big eyes caught earlier this year. My buddies are form Hot Springs, they fish Hamilton and Ouachita, I tied up some 1/2 oz shad style hair jigs and we electric motor trolled the humps and caught some nice ones. Nothing as big as yours though. I think 36lb was our biggest. I don't think I've ever had a fish fight as hard as a striper. I watched my reel sing for 20 seconds....incredible. Those are some huge fish you caught. Congrats! "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
